Hey Guys,
When you are older its harder to find someone that will fit with your lifestyle, interests, etc.
Most women Ive dated have been either neutral or negative to my interest in slot cars.
Very few actually show much interest.
Anyway I met this woman, Debbie at a 50's social group Pizza and beer night.
We have been dating for five months now and have gone from strength to strength. We are both car nuts and Debs also taken to the bikes like a duck does to water.
The Slot cars?
Yeah, she thinks they are awesome fun
So much so we generally spend Saturday nights in running slot cars, eating pizza and having a few Vodkas.
Ive been showing Deb the various types/classes/brands of 1/32 scale slot cars and letting her try them to get a feel for the nuances every model provides.
I have been getting her a few cars to both encourage her continued interest and to salve my own conscience for the money i spend on my must have slot cars.... and I bloody well know Im not on my own in this, we are all addicts and have the need to either cover our habit, justify it and or include our significant other in our beautiful scale addiction.
Accordingly I hooked Deb with a new lovely Blue livery Scaley Bentley Continental. Running moderate magnet (150-180gm on my magnet marshal), it was surprisingly a good performing GT3 car around our layout, not the quickest but still respectable.
Since this scale toe in the water Ive got Deb a couple of new cars. She is a Hyundai N car fan so the latest SCX I20N rally car was a must and a Slot.it Porsche 956/62 arrived today. Its pink, she likes pink, who am I to argue......
Anyway, to all you old single, set in your ways blokes out there, there are women that like slot cars out there. Plying them with Vodka does help mind :}
Cheers,
Rob Wessling
